Yes, because cooking destroys certain nutrients. Has nothing to do with the source of the nutrients.

A diet is balanced as long as it contains all the nutrients an organism needs in a bio-available form and vegan cat food that checks these marks exist.

Not wanting animals to be needlessly killed isn't militant btw. but nice buzzword.

Precisely, even such a minor deviation from the natural diet of cats can cause serious health issues.

General scientific consensus is that commercially available vegan cat food is nutritionally inadequate (despite claiming otherwise).

General consensus amongst veterinarians is that feeding cats vegan or vegetarian diets is likely to cause health issues.

Also, militant is a frequently used and suitable word in this case - acting grammar nazi isn't really helping your case here. (unless you aren't intensely devoted to not serving meat? If so, my apologies lol)

Should go stop lions from eating gazelles ass first. You should always intervene in nature.
